Sky: B+, he's been solid, goes up in the air sometimes
Mike D.: B-, would have been a B but that safety where the clock ran down was the worst shot of the cup. He's making some real tough shots look real easy, Not winning the coin flip situations though.
SVB: B-, only cause of the carom or it would have been a C, especially after that 6 ball on day 1 was just no.
Berg: B, seems to be getting the worst of the luck but he's cool out there, I think he's got the best shot to get hot. His style holds up even with a short clock and heat. I like that.
Corey: C-, he's gotta find a middle ground between crazy and genius. I literally find myself calling him one or the other nearly every shot. He also has a big chance to get hot especially after a rough day the pressure might be off at this point.

We are pretty much on the same page…

I think I would score Skyler a little higher because both of his real "up in the air" moments were against the shot clock jacked up (one on the combination, the other on the tough cut froze against a ball)… He has shot straight in moments where he was left fairly tough shots by his partners multiple occasions.

I also think you are a little easy on Mike D, I think he has missed a couple of dead on safeties and straight dogged a couple of shots… he did make the big out to pull out the victory (after he got lucky), great shot he made on the five to get on the six.

finally, GREAT description of Corey's style… "he's got to find a middle ground between crazy and genius"… I love it!
